LessonsṬarafah: Mālik, Kinship Obligations, and Injustice from Relatives (Verses 68–78)Quiz

بِلَا حَدَثٍ أَحْدَثْتُهُ وَكَمُحْدِثٍ
هِجَائِي وَقَذْفِي بِالشَّكَاةِ وَمَطْرَدِي
Meaning: I have done no deed that could count as an offense, yet I am treated like someone who has committed one: I am satirized, complained against, and driven away.

Ḥadath denotes an occurrence or offense; hijāʾī the satire directed at me, al-shakāh complaint, and maṭradī my expulsion or rejection. The contrast bilā ḥadath ... wa-ka-muḥdith is the core: innocent in his own account, but made to bear the social consequences of guilt.
